I got a set of MT valve covers with pealing paint.I wanted to strip them and repaint them the body color.Should I use a steel brush orstrip them with paint stripper.The paint looks pretty hard and thick, almost like rock guard texture.Would paint stripper do anything to the aluminum?Can I use regular base coat clear coat? Thanks in advance!!!

I used the aircraft stripper fron Autozone. Worked really well.
